This normally means that you have a faulty xD memory card.With the power off, remove the card and try cleaning the contacts using a cotton bud (Q-Tip) moistened with a little rubbing alcohol. This is unlikely to solve your problem but cos ...

We bought a new Vivitar DVR 790HD camera recently.When we first got it the power button started the camera but soon after it went dead.

After quite a while we disconnected the charger but the camera goes dead and won't switch on.
